Beyond being extra thin and light, ASUS S46 ultrabooks pack a full feature set in just 21mm. The cool grey hairline design expresses a personal professional approach. One-piece molded top casing reinforces notebook strength and rigidity, and the entire style embodies subtlety that meets all your performance portability needs.

Amazing Audio

ASUS SonicMaster Lite gives the ASUS S Series the ability to deliver more powerful sounds and richer bass to provide the best audio experience in the mainstream notebook class.

Smartphone-Like Responsiveness With Instant On*

Only ASUS ultrabooks offer you true two-second instant on resume from sleep or hibernate, cutting out long reboot times and putting you back to work or enjoyment right where you left off. Thanks to ASUS Super Hybrid Engine II technology, you also get up to nine days of standby, with auto data backup should battery charge drop to 5% or less.

*Actual S46 standby time may vary due to specific component performance, connected devices, and environmental differentiation.

Rating: 5/5Nice laptop

Pros: Nice laptop. Thin, light, super fast bootup with Win7. Has a DVD burner, so I can watch my movies. Unfortunately did Windows Update and it had about 100 patches, but they loaded in under an hour. I suppose with Win 8 it enables the touch screen, but I use this for DJ'in and don't care about WIN 8.

Love the USB 3 ports. Battery life has been 6 hours with constant use, longer if you hibernate or sleep. Has an instant on from hibernate in about 3 seconds, I love that.

Cons: Shared mic/headphone jack. Every time I plug in my headphones Win7 asks me what am I plugging in, mic or headphones? Have to look up how to disable this question, it's very annoying.

Came preloaded with some bloatware like Norton, removed it. Installed MS Security Essentials for free, and used Ninite.com to quickly install everything else I needed.

Other Thoughts: Keyboard are slightly flat keys but I got used to it in a day. Power adaptor plus is on the left side, and my outlet is on the right, so I hate the cord going behind the laptop, but that's just my personal problem.

Other Thoughts: Be careful applying windows updates. At one point it locked up and wouldn't start properly because there were so many pending updates (over 100 at first)... so I had to restore windows from the backup partition, and apply the updates a few at a time. Since then no problems, but I wasted about 8 hours getting windows to work.

Other Thoughts: Needs a backlit keyboard and 8 gigs of ram to be perfect.
